I didnt know that.

Imagine being in squares position. They hired a venue, setup a giant marketing stunt with surprises awaiting tonight, a release date and demo. Only for some cucks on a shitty journalist site to leak it all and get their surprise all throughout the internet hours before the event. What a sad situation

I hope atlus isnt stupid enough to trust these faggots with the persona 5 release

We're way past that point. Gawker put up a video of him fucking a chick. He obviously did not consent to the recording and sued them for posting it online. Won over a hundred million dollars in damages. Or was it 150? A large sum.
>>
Square wouldn't waste the resources on sueing over this and if they would then a lot of people would be in equal situations because leaks happen all the time even officially by sites.

The worst that'll happen is SE will no longer do business with them. No review copies, no early information, no advertising on their site.

gametrailers closed because of their parent company didnt want to continue on with the site for some reason.

Gametrailers would have been the king right now instead of reddit when it comes to gaming. It had an amazing web design, you could post your own blogs, videos, there was competition, the community was massive and thriving and General Gaming was basically the /pol/ of gaming. Then they started to slowly fuck themselves, they fired the web designer, they took down blog posts, then came user videos, changed their web design which looked like shit, got caught tampering to make PS3 games look like shit when compared to the 360 (yes, they had something like their own Digital Foundry) and so much more. All they had to do, was not change. They deserved their downfall.

>Don't rely on shock value and bullshit headlines for views, but proper information that will get the attention of curious onlookers
>Do a proper journalist job, rather than listen to grannies telling rumors while using urinals
>Don't hire women just to fill a quota, hire them if they're actually fucking qualified for the job (Same with minorities). They only deserve the spot if they can prove they're worth having.

Wrong. People still love the Hulkster. WWE was all like "HE SAID NIGGER, DONT YOU HATE HIM BLACK PEOPLE? GIMMIE DA SJW MONEE" and black people were like "eh whateves he's an honorary nigga anyway"

Really the only thing substantial that happened to him is that he got his Hall of Fame status revoked (which they may give it back cause the wrestling fans are throwing a bitchfit over) and his sponsors dropped him (which doesn't matter because of the case and he's getting more sponsors)

Hulk actually gained from this whole scandel thing.

Not him, but the article in the OP basically says that GameSpot is *maybe* under fire for breaking an NDA that *might have* existed.

The only thing the article actually claims as fact is that GameSpot revealed the release date a few hours before SE officially revealed it. In the end, the question is whether or not they were allowed to do it.

Escapist are trash. They've been plagued with the "Oh no, feelings are being hurt!" nonsense for years, similar to other games media sites.

Thing about that tape where he allegedly said nigger is that gawker never released it they just said that's what it said(you think they would if they had it considering they put up and refused to take down the sex tape after being told to by the courts).

Of course they werent and they deleting the vid is all the proof you need. And of course they were under NDA.

The only thing we dont know is how severe the NDA actually is.
